The New York State Board for Historic Preservation has recommended the addition of the Geneva Downtown Historic District to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. It was among 33 properties, resources and districts that were recommended.

The registers are the official lists of buildings, structures, districts, landscapes, objects and sites significant in the history, architecture, archeology and culture of New York state and the nation. Being listed in the registers can assist property owners in revitalizing the structures by making them eligible for public preservation programs and services.

The Geneva Downtown Historic District was established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries along the current Seneca, Exchange and Castle streets.
